The Business Process Integration Management (BPIM) major is designed to attract nontraditional IT majors and business majors interested in technology, to meet the needs of employers in the region, and to provide benefit to distance learners from other areas. The BPIM major focuses on building the communication, problem-solving, business, collaboration and technical skills required of employers with a focus on business processes and advanced enterprise systems to ensure students are well-prepared to enter the growing IT and business workforce. The need for this program is a direct result of information gathered through employer focus groups and surveys, advisory board recommendations, internship results, and participation in professional organizations.

The courses for this major were filled
with problem-solving, collaboration,
analysis, implementation and
management. This included everything
that I was interested in and I felt like I
would have a good solid education when
I graduated.
I completed the BPIM degree after a
year and a half, and I gained a lot more
than an education during that time. The
professors and staff prepared me for the
real world, which I am very grateful
for.Hanah Cunningham
